As a consultant, I work with HP3000s all over the place, so I have similar
problems to the telecommuter.

My favorite solution at present is to have a client with an internet
connection ( there are still some that don't, unfortunately).  I have an
ISDN line (although it would work for an analog connection also).  I make a
local connection to my ISP and from there I can connect to any computer on
the Internet at no additional cost.  I use Reflection with VTMGR.

There are some problems.  Control Y's can lock up the connection, so it's a
good idea to avoid them if you can.  At certain times of day, the Internet
can be unbelievably slow, depending where you are, where the computer is
and which time zone you are in.  But it beats paying long-distance rates,
especially when the computer is in a foreign country.
